Space colonies. Cylindrical space colonies by a Mars-like planet, computer artwork

Cylindrical space colonies by a Mars-like planet, computer artwork. Such theoretical self-sufficient spaceships would grow their own food (plants and artificial sky seen at centre left) and supply their own water and air. They would rotate to create an artificial gravity. They would also have to recycle everything in what would be a closed system. Such spaceships will be needed for long missions and for space colonies, as well as for future travel to the stars

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the futuristic concept of cylindrical space colonies orbiting a Mars-like planet. These theoretical self-sufficient spaceships represent humanity's potential to establish sustainable habitats beyond Earth. In this visionary illustration, we witness the harmonious coexistence of advanced technology and nature. At the center left, an awe-inspiring artificial sky illuminates a thriving ecosystem of plants, symbolizing the ability to cultivate food in outer space. The duo inhabiting this cosmic dwelling exemplifies mankind's relentless pursuit of exploration and colonization in the vastness of our universe. To ensure survival on long missions or for establishing permanent space colonies, these colossal spacecrafts would need to be entirely self-reliant. They would generate their own water and air supply while recycling every resource within their closed system. Remarkably, these cylindrical structures rotate gracefully around their axis, creating artificial gravity that mimics Earth's pull. As we venture further into the 21st century, such technological marvels will become indispensable for interstellar travel and colonizing distant celestial bodies. This extraordinary image from Science Photo Library invites us to contemplate humanity's boundless potential as we strive towards unlocking the secrets of our cosmos.
